   Objectives

IJTA is designed for the prompt publication of original and significant articles of tourism anthropology. The journal aims to help professionals in this field to make contributions, disseminate information, and learn from each other's work; to expand frontiers of knowledge in tourism anthropology; and thus to interpret and understand the evolution and impact of tourism variation in all of its forms. The international scope is emphasised in order to address cultural, religious, regional and national barriers, and to meet the needs of accelerating socioeconomic change and changes in the global economy.

   Readership

Professionals, academics, students, researchers and policy-makers working in the field of tourism anthropology.
